Walking Basketball Sheffield

20/02/2026

Our session on Sunday 22nd February is CANCELLED. We've been informed at short notice that the sports hall at Tapton School is being 'deep cleaned' and so we cannot use it.
Obviously, this is outside our control - we will be back on Sunday 1st March 11am.

CHANGE OF START TIME. Our next Walking Basketball session tomorrow (Sunday) will start at 12 noon instead of our usual 11am. This is a one-off alteration. Hope you can still make it at this later time.

We had a brilliant session last Sunday - four new players - including two who'd never played before, all of whom had a great time. So if you'd like to convert from a spectator (Hatters/Sharks supporter) into a player, come and join us this Sunday.

It's basketball without the running

Some new players have had difficulty finding the Sports Hall at Tapton School where our walking basketball sessions happen. So here is a video showing the route! Our next session is Sunday 28th April (tomorrow) starting at 11am. No prior booking needed, just come along and join in. Your first session is free.

How to find your way to the Sports Hall at Tapton School

We run a couple of simple skill drills at our Walking Basketball sessions each week. It’s a way of both acquiring and honing basketball skills to benefit both beginners and more experienced players. It’s great to see players using these skills playing walking basketball. Why don’t you come and join us - no experience necessary. Every Sunday morning 11am to 12noon at Tapton School, Darwin Lane S10 5RG. Your first session is free.

We're on the radio! I had a brilliant time talking to Nick Ahad on BBC Radio Sheffield earlier today about walking basketball. He has a slot called 'Alternative Sports Report' where he spotlights a sport that is not getting in the limelight and today it was the turn of walking basketball.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p0hdpqzz Advance to 2:15:00 in for the start of the piece.
Have a listen and let us know what you think. If you think walking basketball is something you'd like to have a go at, come along to one of our Sunday sessions - 11am at Tapton Seconday School, Darwin Lane, Sheffield S10 5RG. We're there this Sunday 10th March - your first session is free.
Thanks Nick - we might tempt him to join us too - he was a stand out point guard in his day!
